Wayne and Pat Chapman, both Lamar County natives, are in their 13th year of baldly fundraising for childhood cancer research, but this is the first year itâs been held in Paris.
âThere are several children right here in Paris who are fighting cancer, and we are doing this to support research to fund cures for them and the 300,000 other kids who will be diagnosed with cancer this year alone,â Pat said.
Since 2009, Wayne has shaved his head to raise money for the St. Baldrickâs Foundation, a national charity dedicated to cancer research in children. So far, he has raised $65,000 on just his own head and contributed to raising $390,000 in what has become an annual McAllen fundraiser.
